Norman Berrill, a representative of PN Beslag witnessed part of the test. A description of the test construction is given in the Schedule of Components. The description is based on a detailed survey of the specimens and information supplied by the sponsor of the test. The sample was supplied mounted within a timber sub-frame of nominal section 75mm x 100mm fitted flush with the exterior face, in accordance with the clients fitting instructions. The sample was then installed into the test apparatus by a representative of Bodycote warringtonapt on the 31 st March 2009 Test Climate The sample was conditioned in the laboratory in the range C and 25-75% humidity. The temperature and humidity in the lab was maintained in the range C and % humidity for the duration of the test.

14 Page No.14 of 19 PERFORMANCE CRITERIA AND TEST RESULTS Clause Result Pass/Fail 5.1 Operating forces The window was tested in accordance with EN The average force or torque required to disengage & engage the hardware must not exceed those defined for the Class 1 of EN 13115, which requires less than 100N/10Nm for hand operated fasteners, and 50N/5Nm for finger operated fasteners. The average force required to commence and maintain motion up to 100mm must not exceed those defined for Class 1 of EN 13115, which requires a force less than 100N An average torque of 2.9Nm was required to disengage the handle, 27.33N was required to commence motion up to 100mm in the opening direction, 41.99N was required to commence closing from 100mm up the engagement of the locking hardware. A 40N force was applied to hold the casement closed against the weatherseal, and 3.51Nm was required to engage the handle. PASS CLASS Static torsion The window was tested in accordance with EN 14609, under a load of 300N as required by Class 3 of EN 13115, with a preload of 30N. The load was applied, no damage was observed, and the window continued to operate normally. The deflection under full load was 54.4mm, with a residual deflection of 7.1mm. The hinge stiffened slightly as a result of the loading. PASS CLASS 3 Deflection of the window during static torsion test

15 Page No.15 of 19 Clause Result Pass/Fail Following the test an average torque of 2.78Nm was required to disengage the handle, 19.39N was required to commence motion up to 100mm in the opening direction, 44.88N was required to commence closing from 100mm up the engagement of the locking hardware. A 40N force was applied to hold the casement closed against the weatherseal, and 3.24Nm was required to engage the handle Racking The window was tested in accordance with EN 14609, under a load of 600N as required by Class 3 of EN 13115, with a preload of 60N. The load was applied, no a slight deformation of the casement was observed, but the window continued to operate normally. The deflection under full load was 22.8mm, and the residual deflection was 6.9mm. PASS CLASS 3 Deflection of the window during racking test Following the test an average torque of 2.66Nm was required to disengage the handle, 14.35N was required to commence motion up to 100mm in the opening direction, 38.43N was required to commence closing from 100mm up the engagement of the locking hardware. A 45N force was applied to hold the casement closed against the weatherseal, and 3.33Nm was required to engage the handle.

16 Page No.16 of 19 Clause Result Pass/Fail 5.3 Loadbearing capacity of safety devices This test was carried out on the restriction devices integrated in the hinge at position 1 & 2 (initial opening) and at position 3 & 4 (reversed), with a 350N load applied at the bottom right (restrictor) corner and at the bottom left (non restrictor) corner. All loads were held without the restrictor failing, and the restrictor continued to function normally. PASS 350N Loading of initial opening restrictor at restrictor-side corner

17 Page No.17 of 19 Clause Result Pass/Fail Loading of reversal restrictor at restrictor-side corner Loading of reversal restrictor at non-restrictorside corner

18 Page No.18 of 19 Clause Result Pass/Fail 5.4 Impact resistance 5.5 Resistance to repeated opening and closing The recommended class for the UK is Class 0, no performance is required. Prior to the cyclic operation test, when tested in accordance with EN , the sample met the requirements of Class 1. An average torque of 3.22Nm was required to disengage the handle, 14.17N was required to commence motion up to 100mm in the opening direction, 43.9N was required to commence closing from 100mm up the engagement of the locking hardware. A 44.6N force was applied to hold the casement closed against the weather seal, and 4.26Nm was required to engage the handle. The number of cycles completed by the window was 10,000, as required by Class 2 of the standard, for medium duty. The stroke of the doorleaf was 7 degrees, an opening distance of 300mm. Observations and measurement of the datum points 50mm from each edge of the casement were carried out. No lubrication or adjustment was specified by the client. Following the cyclic operation test, when tested in accordance with EN , the sample continued to meet the requirements of Class 1. An average torque of 4.11Nm (representing a variation in performance of V = +27.5%) was required to disengage the handle, 12.6N (representing a variation in performance of V = -14.2%) was required to commence motion up to 100mm in the opening direction, 56.47N (representing a variation in performance of V = +28.5%) was required to commence closing from 100mm up the engagement of the locking hardware. A 55.26N (representing a variation in performance of V = +23.8%)force was applied to hold the casement closed against the weather seal, and 4.06Nm (representing a variation in performance of V = -4.8%) was required to engage the handle. PASS CLASS 0 PASS CLASS 1 PASS CLASS 2 PASS CLASS 1

19 Page No.19 of 19 Evaluation against objective CONCLUSIONS The sample as provided by the client was subjected to operational & strength testing in accordance with BS :2009 and achieved the requirements. Observations & comments Limitations Range of window assemblies covered by this report Uncertainty of Measurement LIMITATIONS The results are valid only for the conditions under which the test was conducted and for the specific range of window assemblies as detailed below. It is our opinion that the range of window assemblies covered by this report are limited to the following Assemblies with identical hardware fitted no further apart than in the tested assembly Assemblies of the same or smaller overall dimensions to the tested assembly The uncertainties of measurements calculated for a confidence level of 95% throughout these tests are within the limits of these tolerances. The standard specifies the following tolerances Forces: ±2% Distances: ±1mm for tape measures ± 0.01mm for dial gauges Times: ±5s END OF REPORT
